Sonny Boy

Sonny Boy tries to take on the heavy subject of race, but it comes off as forced and somewhat contrived. The film sets out to portray white people as inherently racist, which feels overly simplistic and one-sided. The narrative falls flat in its attempt to create a nuanced discussion on the topic, instead resorting to cliched and tired tropes.

While the intention behind the story is understandable, the execution leaves much to be desired. It's not particularly engaging or thought-provoking, and it misses the mark on delivering a more balanced or insightful message. A well-intentioned but ultimately disappointing film.
